That sounds weirdly interesting. Actually...what if a freak transporter accident combined the DNA of Dash Rendar and Prince Xizor (both from Shadows of the Empire) into a hybrid of the two?

I’m not an absolute lore master, but I think that some of the ladies in the (Knights of the) Old Republic stories are pretty famous for using yellow lightsabers.

For some people, that experience is logistically or financially not an option. I can empathize with a certain degree of disappointment, here.

For me, anyway, and I’m not arguing that these crystals don’t sound really cool, there’s some consolation in the fact that I’m not sure how “seriously” I could take a Kyber crystal purchased at a Disney park, at least for myself. In my moderate understanding of the lore, these are supposed to be found by Jedi on…

I have no idea what the obstacles are in terms of licensing timeframes, and it is kind of reassuring for LEGO to not have every license, but...

Kilmer seems destined, er, already is the midrange Batman that time forgot.

Enterprise might be the most consistently bad series—I’m not sure that I agree there—but that doesn’t mean that its best season wasn’t pretty good.

Maybe I’m the exception here, but I actually did watch Star Trek with my family during the 90s. For one thing, we only had one TV, and there wasn’t the option of everyone Netflixing separately on laptops around the house.

People like me don’t seem to get that? I’m just saying that I *want* a sequel, not attempting to address the logistics of it.

Maybe I’ve missed something, here or in other announcements, but in this wild mix of different projects, is there an actual sequel that continues the story, post-Voyager and Nemesis? That’s the main thing that I’d like from Star Trek.

I’ve often criticized Star Wars for repeating itself, but I’m willing to give the podrace points for being a race full of different contestants in the desert, even if it does go for the same sort of spatial thrills as the speeder bikes.

Both the prequels and the LOTR trilogy have moments of great beauty, and other moments that don’t work as well. LOTR certainly isn’t immune to criticism.

While it’s certainly true that narratives shift over time and people who enjoyed something as kids might chafe against something similar that they experience as adults...I think that it’s pretty easy to look at the prequels or sequels and see a lot of things that people didn’t need to be pretentious or snobbish to be…

It was definitely a stretch to expect audiences to feel connected enough to Jean, Cyclops, Storm and the others of their class, after only introducing them in the previous film, and that previous film being relatively unpopular in general.

Yeah, that’s an interesting observation. Big sequences that show off vehicle effects have lessened over the years. The sense of invention in general kind of dipped after TPM, in some ways.

Maybe my favorite visual in the prequels is Amidala’s 2nd chrome starship making its approach to Coruscant in Episode II, but I appreciate these guys taking a moment to look at the explosion on the landing pad that occurs a minute later. That always stuck out to me as one of the roughest effects-shots in the trilogy,…

I picked up a used DVD of The Phantom Menace a while back and revisited the film, and my initial/prior opinions generally still hold. But I’ve gotta chime in and say that the Podrace itself remains a fantastic work of VFX. It’s still impressive all these years later.

It began with the animating of the first Scenes...

I’d almost be more interested in a Rogue One-only game than this saga-spanning setup.

If they’d exercised a little restraint and made this as a thriller rather than a slasher, I’d be in. Something about the ridiculous animal suits and robotic eyes twinkling through paper-frame sunglasses, there’s some whimsical charm to it.
